In a report published by The New Yorker, Senator McCain who was speaking on the floor of the United States Senate argued that "We must make FIFA taste the vengeful might and fury of the United States military.” McCain said that he was “completely unimpressed” by the Department of Justice’s arrests of several top FIFA lieutenants this week, calling the action “the kind of Band-Aid solution that this Administration, sadly, has become famous for.” “Rounding up a few flunkies in a hotel is meaningless when the leader of FIFA remains at large,” he said. “I will follow Sepp Blatter to the gates of Hell.” McCain requested a four-billion-dollar aid package for moderate elements within global soccer, and said that the United States should be

Inaugural speech by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari following his swearing-in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 29th May, 2015 I am immensely grateful to God Who Has preserved us to witness this day and this occasion.

Nigeria had an average Corruption Perception Index of 1.6 on a scale of 10. Obasanjo’s response to this report at that time remains fresh in the memories of many. http://www.tr
